Scott TMN Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Some goodies arrived this week Eibach adjustable rear camber kit. Lowering gave me quite a bit of camber so these should help with bringing back into alignment. Thanks again to Cougar store for top service as always And thanks to funky tyres my new tyres arrived for the Rotas Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetric 2. 275/35/19 for the rear 245/35/19 for the front And stacked up beside my OEM sized tyres, gives a good idea of the additional width 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott TMN Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 i know exactly what you mean! I too was reluctant, but I had just bought a new set of tyres and after seeing the camber I had after lowering I thought to myself, yeah I think its a wise move, nice thought the alignment can be all set up correctly too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott TMN Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) So yesterday saw us start the day with fitting the camber arms in preparation for the new wheels and tyres! old item left, and obviously the new unit on the right. It was at this point I realized how little adjustment you have as standard, the only adjustment in a small slotted hole! Then off to the tyre shop! Then as I whipped the old wheel off and the new one rolled into position we was once again reminded on the width of these! makes the old 245 looks small! And fitted pictures the dull skies dont bring in much good light so will get some better pics hopefully in the week very happy with these indeed! Ill hopefully get in for a full Hunter alignment Monday afternoon if all goes to plan! A big thanks goes to my mate Jak for his help with fitting the arms and transporting my wheels and tyres to the shop and back, we ended up taking 2 cars, neither of which was the zed *edit* Sun came out so another quick shot Edited February 24, 2014 by Scott_f91 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Thanks for the reply. Would be interested to know how it handles now in comparison to when it had the Rays standard wheels on. Looks fantastic either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jp606 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Nice, those wheels are gorgeous, the colour suits GM really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott TMN Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Thanks jp606, im very happy with them Not too much of an update, but finally got my wheels all aligned! was a longer procedure than necessary as during my first alignment, he told me he thinks the toe bolts were going to snap, fearing I would have to drive home "hoping it doesnt come out" (his words) I thought it would be best to leave it and revisit after I replaced the bolts. I did already have new toe bolts which came with my camber arms so wasnt too much of an issue But here was the readout before anything was touched... As you can see some dodgey toe in! Come the weekend I was able to get my toe bolts sorted (with the use of some localised heat) and holes elongated as per instructions with the camber kit I then went to another alignment place to finally get me all pointing the right way Readout after camber adjustment from first alignment, and after replacing rear toe bolts. And final adjustment, went with 2 degrees of negative camber at the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 One thing I've just noticed it does say on the top of those print off's "with 18" wheels", ....but yours has 19" wheels. Do you think that's a c**k up or just a generic print out as standard the 350Z's have 18" wheels? Glad you got it sorted either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
